This week, I'm joined by travel advisor Ryan Doncsecz of VIP Vacations. 

We first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including a possible pilot strike, summer travel challenges, and more. 

Later, Doncsecz shares insights into what the true value of working with a travel advisor brings. He also gives key advice to fellow travel advisors on how they can combat the common myths about the profession in order to land more clients. 

The value of a travel advisor discussion begins at the 17:45 mark. 

Today’s episode is brought to you by: 

AmaWaterways, an award-winning and family-owned company that will become the first major river cruise line to explore Colombia with two newly designed ships setting sail for the magnificent Magdalena River in the spring and summer of 2024. As a pioneer in the river cruise industry, AmaWaterways caters to a growing demand from millennial travelers and multigenerational families and continues its leadership in active river cruising with the introduction of the first full-sized pickleball court on board their most spacious and luxurious ship, AmaMagna. The luxury river cruise line also recently announced enhanced sustainability efforts to reduce food waste as well as the installation of solar panels, aimed to further reduce fuel consumption. I’ll discuss these important topics and many more with AmaWaterways’ co-founder and executive vice president, Kristin Karst, during next week’s podcast. Join us to learn more about the latest trends in the travel industry and how AmaWaterways is pioneering a new future for river cruising!
